Replacing the battery
The transmitter is powered by one coin type three-volt lithium battery

•Nearby radio towers
•Structures around the vehicle
•Other vehicles parked next to the vehicle
To replace the battery:
1. Twist a thin coin between the two
halves of the transmitter near the
key ring. DO NOT TAKE THE
FRONT PART OF THE
TRANSMITTER APART.
2. Place the positive (+) side of new
battery UP. Refer to the diagram
inside the transmitter unit.
3. Snap the two halves back
together.
